PRIVACY POLICY

Emphoro Media Inc. (“we”/”us”) provide the website, www.bctechfair.ca (the “Website”) [and access on a subscription basis to its proprietary bctechfair technical skill testing, video interview platform and virtual career fair services (“bctechfair”)]. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store, use and distribute information about our users through the Website [and bctechfair] (collectively “the Services”).

Consent. By accessing the Website [using the Services], you consent to the collection and use by us of Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.  Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, your Personal Information will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.  You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your Personal Information at any time.  However, withdrawing consent may result in your inability to use or continue using certain features or parts of the Services.

Gathering of Non-Personal Information

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the Website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Website choose to interact in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information such as names, email addresses and other contact information.  The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction.  For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address. In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us.   We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Use, Disclosure and Protection of Personally-Identifying Information

We collect personally-identifying information to contact and correspond with visitors, to enable use of the Services, to understand visitors’ needs and develop and recommend suitable products and services, to process transactions, to facilitate and enhance use of the Website and to meet legal and regulatory requirements.  If you are a registered user of the bctechfair.ca website and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with us and our products, unless you opt out of such communications. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users

We disclose personally-identifying information only to those of our employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that: (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at the bctechfair.ca website; and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. We will not rent or sell personally-identifying information to anyone.

Other than disclosures to our employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, we disclose personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights or the property or rights of third parties, or the public at large. We may also disclose personally-identifying information in connection with a corporate re-organization, a merger or amalgamation with another entity, a sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets or stock, including any due diligence exercise carried out in relation to the same, provided that the information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.

Security

We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.  We use cookies to track content usage and traffic on the Website.  Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies or notify when a cookie is sent so a decision can be made as to whether to accept or refuse it.  However, the drawback to disabling cookies is that certain features of the Website and Services may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy Changes

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time.  We therefore encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Any change to this Privacy Policy will become effective ten (10) days following the date the change is posted and will apply to information collected from the date of the posting of the revised privacy policy and to existing information held by the Company.  The date on which the latest update was made is indicated at the bottom of this document.  Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
